My name is Linda, 62 years old from Jakarta, Indonesia. I was diagnosed with
stage III endometrial cancer in 2014, but now the tumor was gone after taking
interventional therapy, natural therapy and radical resection in St. Stamford
Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. Three years has passed, I am still alive and
healthy. Regular monitoring is required once a year and the latest CT scan
showed that there’s no sign of recurrence. Endometrial cancer was one terrible
episode in my life but it can never destroy my life.

I had suffered from vaginal bleeding since February 2014, but at that time I
was already stop menstruating. Since there was no pain and the amount of
bleeding was low, I did not pay much attention and only take herbal medicine.
However, the bleeding was not relieved by the herbal medicine instead it
worsened. Eventually, I was rushed to a hospital in Jakarta because of massive
vaginal bleeding and was confirmed to have stage III endometrial cancer.

I knew how terrible chemotherapy and surgery are because I have a friend with
cancer who was greatly tortured by the side effects of surgery and chemotherapy,
so I told myself never take chemotherapy and surgery even if I’m sick. I never
thought that I would really become a cancer patient one day. I firmly refused
doctor’s suggestion of surgery and decided to look for better endometrial cancer
treatment. Knowing my concern, a radiologist in Jakarta recommended me to take
treatment in China. Honestly, I knew nothing about China at that time, not to
mention the cancer treatment they offer. I searched on the internet and
fortunately found St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou and its branch
office in Jakarta. Along with my family, I went to its branch office in Jakarta
and met a doctor who offered me treatment plan after a thorough review of my
medical reports. UMAR, a cancer patient I met in the office, shared his
treatment experience in MCHG which made me motivated to take cancer treatment in
MCHG.

Dr. Yao Zhongping and Me

With the assistance of staff in the office, I got my visa and air ticket
quickly and came to Guangzhou for treatment. I was welcomed by the
multidisciplinary team who made a treatment plan composed of interventional
therapy and natural therapy for me based on my condition. Surprisingly, my
condition was under well controlled after the first session of therapy. However,
the following treatment made me a little bit upset and confused because surgery
was highly recommended by my attending doctor-Dr. Yao Zhongping. Honestly, I did
not want to take surgery so I refused Indonesian doctor’s suggestion and came
here for treatment. But surgery was still recommended here, I was upset and did
not what to do. Knowing my concern, Dr. Yao explained to me patiently, he said:
“I know how you feel and your fear towards surgery, but we studied your case and
came to a conclusion that surgery is the best choice for you. Don’t you worry,
we will do the best for you. " I calmed down and reflected on the treatment
experience here. I felt comfortable here though I have an intense fear of
hospital, my condition was greatly improved after the first session treatment.
And so, with God speaking to me, I believed that surgery was the best choice for
now. I had it in November 2014.

Indeed, God was with me all throughout, surgery was successful! I was able to
travel to England two months after surgery. I feel great and healthy. Everyone
felt tired except me after walking for a long time. My condition has been
greatly improved and I was more determined to take cancer treatment here.

Now I come back for reexamination, CT scan shows that there is no signs of
recurrence, in other words, there is no cancer cells inside my body. It has been
more than 3 years since I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, but I’m still
alive and healthy. Therefore, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to
doctors, nurses, translators and other staff in MCHG. Thanks to Dr. Yao for his
competence though we have language barrier, but he can always feel my concern
and extends his comfort. Thanks to all Indonesian interpreters for their
professionalism. I do worry about the language before I came here, but the 24
hours free translation service really brought so well. Thanks to all medical
staff here for their meticulous care, it’s their effort that help me regained
health.

I’ve been working as a volunteer for 22 years before being diagnosed with
endometrial cancer. Although the disease disrupted my life to some extent but it
never destroyed me. I am currently working as a volunteer in as much as I can
handle. With what I have been through, I can easily say with other patients that
cancer should never destroy one’s life. Go to God, pray and believe, religiously
follow the doctors’ advice.
